In general relativity, it is difficult to localise observables such as energy, angular momentum, or centre of mass in a bounded region. The difficulty is that there is dissipation. A self-gravitating system, confined by its own gravity to a…

General equations for conservative yet dissipative (entropy producing) extended magnetohydrodynamics are derived from two-fluid theory. Keeping all terms generates unusual cross-effects, such as thermophoresis and a current viscosity that…
On a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ we consider the $k+1$ functions $F_1,...,F_k,G$ and construct the vector fields that conserve $F_1,...,F_k$ and dissipate $G$ with a prescribed rate. We study the geometry of these vector fields and prove…
The dissipative motion and the rise of a heavy symmetrical top with a hemispherical peg are studied. A model taking the fixed point of the top as the center of the peg is considered when the top completely slips and the rolling motion is…

It is always some constraint that yields any nontrivial structure from statistical averages. As epitomized by the Boltzmann distribution, the energy conservation is often the principal constraint acting on mechanical systems. Here, we…
